	Bouchard Finlayson Missionvale Chardonnay 2008 Oaky Aussie Chardonnay Style	7 ratings [rate]	Chardonnay & Chardonnay blends	13.0%	2008	13.99	bottle(s) ADD TO BASKET
	Obsessive about his trade, winemaker Peter Finlayson could be likened to a 'stalker' of good grapes. This is their flagship white and it's hard not to smother it in superlatives. Very wise use of oak, it adds great richness and depth to the mix without bullying the grape's natural fruit and delicate ripeness. A versatile food accompaniment, we did it South African style with barbequed fish and giant prawns.

	What a joy it is that something that tastes so nice can actually be so virtuous. Made from organically grown grapes in a state of the art energy-saving winery, even the label's made from recycled paper. As you savour your second glass of rich, ripe melon and pineapple fruit you can actually feel the halo starting to form above your head.

	It's a family love-affair with this grape at Catena, the producers of this. It's probably the best Chardonnay in Argentina today. It's got the lot: freshness delivered by fruit picked from the slopes of the towering volcano Tupungato, mingling with riper, more tropical flavours from the valley floor at Tunuyán and Agrelo. Nicolás and daughter, Laura Catena have spent many vintages in pursuit of a very natural wine and they haven't missed a beat with this one.

	No expense is spared on this blinding drop, sourced from the same alluvial plain in Marlborough as the now legendary sauvignon blanc. It's treated to a lavish dose of oak and as a result is ripe and full-bodied with superb flavours of citrus fruit, underpinned with a yeasty, nutty character and finished with a touch of flinty elegance.

	Bellevue Estate Show Reserve Barrique Chardonnay 2009 Oaky Aussie Chardonnay Style	13 ratings [rate]	Chardonnay & Chardonnay blends	13.0%	2009	8.99	bottle(s) ADD TO BASKET
	Nothing like the big, brassy over-worked Aussie Chardonnays of yore, this is thoroughly modern. Tastes have shifted away from the undrinkable show-stoppers and more towards elegant and vibrant styles with oak that compliments the fruit rather than over-powering it. This is a very good example, having seen some lovely barrique action, it shows lovely toasty, vanilla notes, but only to bring the fruit to life even more.

	Blue Lake Chardonnay Viognier 2008 Oaky Aussie Chardonnay Style	4 ratings [rate]	Chardonnay & Chardonnay blends	13.0%	2008	7.49 6.99	bottle(s) ADD TO BASKET
	Chardonnay blended with Viognier has developed into a very popular combination in recent times and when you try some of the offerings available it's pretty easy to see why. Orchard fruit and the zesty character of the Chardonnay are balanced beautifully by the tropical lushness of Viognier - exotic lychee and punchy apricot abound! I'm a firm believer that some of the best examples hail from Australia and I suggest trying Blue Lake alongside a creamy pasta dishes.
